Sears Holdings announced Thursday that the Kmart at Business Route 50 and Tilghman Road will be among the 64 sites it is closing this spring. The company also said it is shutting down 39 Sears stores, but the Salisbury location wasn't one of them, according to a Sears press release.

The stores targeted for closure are unprofitable and are set to be shuttered between early March and early April, the company said in the release.

Liquidation sales are expected to begin as early as Jan. 12 at the affected sites. Eligible workers will be offered severance pay and the opportunity to apply for positions at other Kmart and Sears locations, the company said.

Sears and Kmart employed a total of 150 people in Wicomico County between the two locations as of October 2015, according to the Maryland Department of Commerce. It was unclear how many were employed at each store.

The Kmart in Rehoboth Beach wasn't listed among the impending closures.
